Description The Steampunk Mobile Phone otherwise known as 'The Pocket Aether Perambulator'

I've been working on this for months, on and off, and got tired of not posting anything.

Strictly speaking is this steampunk? I have no idea, its just a label.

The dimensions for this are based on my trusty Nokia N95, It opens much like a netbook and boasts the following features.

*Fob ring - for attaching to a gentlemans pocket chain
*External Chronograph - with visible mechanism
*External Camera Obscura - for capturing magical images which might take ones fancy
*Internal Camera Obscura - for presenting images of your own visage whilst communing over the aetheric web
*Miniaturised QWERTY typewriter - to aid in the preparation of Aether-grams
*Aetheric plasma picture frame - for viewing the aetheric web
*Internal magnetic resonance speaker/microphone
*Dedicated buttons for accessing the aetheric web
*Exquisite external engraving and name plate bearing the following information 'The Pocket Aether Perambulator - enabling communion across aetheric space. As presented by Prof. A. J. G. Wellsby'

Still a WIP so C&C's welcome

Note: Lighting not quite right yet

This is a cool work, The Steampunk is written all over this phone. Quite rare to see a mobile phone in Stempunk style, Mostly they use old style hand-cranked phone. If this ever sell in real world and the price is not insanely high, I think i will consider buying one.

That's awesome. It would be even better if it actually worked. I would rock that... maybe change the screen to something updated, but still.

This is making me want to make my HTC Incredible into something like this.
